Painful Words
Breaking up itself can be very saddening, but being told certain words during that breakup can even make it more hurtful. Words generally linger longer in our memories and can be a constant reminder of hurtful accusations and unreciprocated feelings. People differ when it comes to feelings and what person A might consider to be the worst set of words to be told during breakup might differ from what someone else considers to be the most hurtful.
Some Reddit users responded to a question about what words they found painful the most when they broke up. Their responses go to show that some people have even had it worse than a lot of people when it comes to break up.
A Reddit User Was Told There Was Another Person In the picture

Another User Got A Spiteful Post

According to the Reddit user, there is no fun in getting ghosted as it makes someone feel like there wasn’t any form of closure. Further, the user said that getting told mean and hurtful things upon breakup still helps for closure and helps one to move on as compared to being ghosted which only leaves a person wondering.
